Not spoiling too much because I really want other folks to read this one. It's a really fun take on the "life is what you make of it" trope. It reads like vignettes and has a very "feel good" vibe overall. It did, however, hit incredibly close to home with the themes (suicide, death of a parent, grief/loss, and depression/anxiety), so be warned.
Graphic: Mental illness and Suicide attempt
Moderate: Death of parent
Minor: Animal cruelty and Animal death
